Hi,
I believe you are correct, the best answer is probably C, physical gestures.

This question refers to the story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst.
1. The story "The Scarlet Ibis" is told from the perspective of Doodle's older brother. This child is referred to in the story as "Brother." There are several reasons why the story might be told from Brother's perspective. First, the story focuses on the relationship between the two brothers. Therefore, it is more informative for the reader if a brother narrates the events, as opposed to another member of the family. Moreover, Doodle has a developmental problem, which makes Brother the most reliable narrator of the two.
2. If the story was written from the parents' perspective, there would be significant changes in tone and mood. It is likely that the parents would not understand the connection between the brothers in the same way that Brother understands them. Moreover, it is also likely that the parents would have more pity and compassion for Doodle than Brother has.
3. If the scene was rewritten from Old Woman Swamp's point of view, it is likely that the scene would feature both brothers more prominently. First, it might show the struggle that Doodle faces earlier, which might indicate to the reader that Doodle might be in danger. Moreover, this point of view would probably focus less on the inner thoughts of Brother and more in the way the brothers interact with one another.
The verb "looks" would be in this case a linking verb, since it is helping the reader understand the point of view of the observer. The weather itself is of course not "looking" anywhere.
For me, one is getting use to new surroundings. We can get so used to the way we do things
that we fall into a routine. Another is
missing your loved ones because it gets lonely when people you love aren’t
there. Then there is adjusting to the
way things work. New place means new set
of rules that you have to adapt to.
Finally there is letting go of the things you hold dear. It’s hard to let go but you have to open
yourself to new possibilities.
